A charity says it is investigating two of its employees working with refugees in Greece in connection with allegations of “serious misconduct.”

The statement from Portland, Oregon-based Mercy Corps comes after Greek judicial authorities ordered a probe into claims staff at an unnamed European Union-funded non-governmental organization sexually exploited refugees and misused money intended for their welfare.

Mercy Corps said in the statement posted Tuesday it has “zero tolerance for any form of harassment, exploitation, fraud or theft.” It pledged cooperation with Greek authorities and program funders.
